‘A numerical simulation of the merger of the two objects that became Ultima Thule,’ from the article ‘How Ultima Thule Is Like a Sticky, Pull-Apart Pastry’ by Kenneth Chang in The New York Times, March 18. #lavalamp#omm#ultimathule

✔️ How fast #NewHorizons is travelling through space? The GIF compares the view at 11,278 metres (37,000 feet) if you were travelling in a Boeing 747, the reconnaissance aircraft SR-71 Blackbird, or New Horizons. Just in case you're not familiar with imperial units, the 747 travels at 885 km/h (550 mph), the Blackbird hits top speeds of 4,345 km/h (2,700 mph) while New Horizons cruises along at a breakneck speed of 57,936 km/h (36,000 mph). If that's not impressive enough for you, over on Twitter Bavor explained that if you were travelling on New Horizons on Earth, you'd be able to get from San Francisco to New York in just 5 minutes - not enough time to bother switching your phone to airplane mode." . ✔️ Follow us: @the.night.sky ✔️ Follow us: @the.night.sky ✔️ Follow us: @the.night.sky ✔️ Follow us: @the.night.sky . .
